Displ spiral fx shaft of r femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture occurring in the middle portion (shaft) of the right thigh bone (femur) that has a spiral pattern and is no longer aligned. The fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and this is the initial treatment encounter.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced spiral fracture of the right femoral shaft where the skin has been broken, exposing the bone, and it is the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this injury. This would include scenarios such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall resulting in an open wound over the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "spiral" fracture morphology of the femoral shaft.
• Confirm the fracture is on the "right" side and is an "open" fracture type I or II.
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for active treatment of the fracture, not a follow-up or healing phase.
